- [Wk 6: You Are My Credibility](https://livinghopetriad.com/wk-6-you-are-my-credibility/) - This sermon teaches that the true measure of Christian ministry is not popularity, charisma, credentials, or visible success, but whether the Holy Spirit is transforming people's lives through faithful, relational service centered on Christ.

- [Wk 5: The Aroma of Christ](https://livinghopetriad.com/wk-5-the-aroma-of-christ/) - This sermon teaches that Christian ministry is ultimately directed toward pleasing God rather than producing visible results, using Paul's image of believers as the "aroma of Christ" whose worship rises to God while others simply witness its effects. The pastor emphasizes that believers are not responsible for saving people or measuring success by conversions,
- [Wk 4: Forgive the Sinner](https://livinghopetriad.com/wk-4-forgive-the-sinner/) - This sermon teaches that church discipline is not about punishing struggling believers, but lovingly confronting unrepentant, ongoing sin that someone has chosen to embrace, because unchecked sin harms both the individual and the entire church. Using 1 and 2 Corinthians, the pastor explains that the goal of discipline is always restoration—when a person repents,
- [Wk 3: Paul Changes His Mind](https://livinghopetriad.com/wk-3-paul-changes-his-mind/) - This sermon explains that while the Corinthians questioned Paul because he changed his travel plans, Paul reveals that his decisions were motivated by love, obedience to God, and a desire to spare them unnecessary pain rather than by selfishness or indecision.

- [Wk 1: The Church of God](https://livinghopetriad.com/wk-1-the-church-of-god/) - This sermon introduces 2 Corinthians by explaining the long, difficult relationship between Paul and the church in Corinth—a congregation marked by division, immorality, pride, celebrity culture, and resistance to Paul's authority.

- [Wk 12: The Epilogue](https://livinghopetriad.com/wk-12-the-epilogue/) - This sermon concludes the book of Job by emphasizing that God's response to Job leads to vindication, redemption, and restoration—not because Job earned it, but because of God's mercy and grace. The preacher argues that Job's restoration does not validate the Retribution Principle ("good people are blessed, bad people are punished"), but instead reveals
- [Wk 11: Yahweh Speaks](https://livinghopetriad.com/wk-11-yahweh-speaks/) - This sermon focuses on God's response to Job after all of Job's suffering, showing that God's ultimate answer is not an explanation for pain but a revelation of Himself. The preacher emphasizes that Job's faith is demonstrated by bringing his questions directly to God, and that when Job encounters God's greatness, his need for
- [Wk 10: Elihu Speaks](https://livinghopetriad.com/wk-10-elihu-speaks/) - This sermon focuses on the character of Elihu in the book of Job, presenting him as a passionate but prideful young man who rebukes Job for his self-righteousness and prepares the way for God’s response. The speaker explains that while Elihu correctly defends God’s justice and sovereignty, he also demonstrates the dangers of arrogance,
- [Wk 9: The Words of Job are Ended](https://livinghopetriad.com/wk-9-the-words-of-job-are-ended/) - This sermon on the final speeches in the Book of Job emphasizes that Job’s intense complaints and grief are not condemned by God, but are presented as a genuine form of worship and lament. The pastor contrasts healthy lament with self-pity, arguing that while God welcomes honest cries of pain, lament must eventually come
- [Week 8: Where is Wisdom?](https://livinghopetriad.com/week-8-where-is-wisdom/) - This sermon on Job 28 contrasts humanity’s incredible technological and intellectual achievements with its complete inability to discover true wisdom apart from God. The preacher argues that wisdom is not merely information, answers, or life principles, but the very presence of God Himself — “the fear of the Lord is wisdom” — and that
- [Week 7: A Low View of Humanity](https://livinghopetriad.com/week-7-a-low-view-of-humanity/) - The sermon teaches that Job’s friends are wrong not because they overstate God’s greatness, but because they wrongly reduce human beings to “worms” with no real value or standing before God. In contrast, Scripture shows that humans are made in the image of God with inherent dignity, purpose, and a real relationship with Him,
- [Week 6: Why Do the Wicked Prosper?](https://livinghopetriad.com/week-6-why-do-the-wicked-prosper/) - This sermon explains how in Job 21 and 24, Job challenges the simplistic belief that God always rewards the righteous and punishes the wicked in this life, pointing out that evil people often seem to prosper while injustice goes unchecked. It affirms that this observation is real and valid, but incomplete—because, as seen in
- [Week 5: My Redeemer Lives](https://livinghopetriad.com/week-5-my-redeemer-lives/) - This sermon on the middle section of the Book of Job (chapters 15–20) contrasts Job’s friends’ rigid belief that suffering is always punishment for sin with Job’s insistence on his innocence, revealing how their simplistic theology leads them to wrongly accuse and wound him instead of offering compassion. Despite Job’s intense and even wrong
- [Week 4: Shut Up & Shiva](https://livinghopetriad.com/week-4-shut-up-shiva/) - This sermon explores the first cycle of speeches in the book of Job, contrasting the compassionate silence of Job’s friends at first with their later failure as they wrongly accuse him and offer misguided, simplistic theology about suffering. It emphasizes that while the friends speak partial truths, they misapply them, whereas Job’s honest lament—even
- [Easter 2026: Christ’s Vindication](https://livinghopetriad.com/easter-2026-christs-vindication/) - This Easter sermon teaches that through the cross, Jesus took on and destroyed humanity’s sin in His flesh, and through the resurrection, He was vindicated—proving that sin and death no longer have power over Him or those united to Him. Because of this, believers are not only forgiven but declared righteous and alive to
- [Faith and Lament](https://livinghopetriad.com/faith-and-lament/) - The sermon connects the book of Job with Psalm 22 to show that lament—honest, even painful complaints to God—is a normal and faithful response to suffering, not a sign of weak faith. By pointing to Jesus quoting “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” on the cross, it argues that expressing feelings
- [Blessed Be the Name](https://livinghopetriad.com/blessed-be-the-name/) - This sermon explains that Job is a righteous man whose suffering is not a result of wrongdoing, but part of a larger, complex purpose under God’s authority, even as the accuser challenges the sincerity of his faith. Despite losing everything and enduring intense suffering, Job responds with worship, acknowledging that both blessing and hardship
- [Introduction to Job](https://livinghopetriad.com/introduction-to-job/) - The introduction to Job presents it as a unique, carefully crafted work—rooted in real events but written as a poetic, framed narrative—that is often misunderstood and requires thoughtful interpretation. It emphasizes that Job’s suffering is not a result of wrongdoing and that the book is less about explaining why suffering happens and more about
- [Stepping Out](https://livinghopetriad.com/stepping-out/) - The sermon teaches that God allows difficult or unusual situations in people’s lives so they can move from merely knowing about Him to truly knowing Him through personal experience. Using examples like Peter walking on water, Abraham interceding for Lot, Jacob wrestling with God, Job’s suffering, and Jonah’s mission, it argues that these moments
- [The Heart of Worship](https://livinghopetriad.com/the-heart-of-worship/) - The sermon concludes the worship series by showing that worship is far bigger than music and centers on why humanity exists: to reflect God’s glory as image-bearers. It traces how human rebellion corrupted worship, but explains that true, acceptable worship is restored through Jesus, whose perfect life, sacrifice, resurrection, and ascension allow humanity to
- [The Elements of Worship](https://livinghopetriad.com/the-elements-of-worship/) - The sermon teaches that biblical worship is defined by awe-filled reverence, humble submission, and active service to God, expressed through concrete actions rather than personal feelings or emotional experiences.

- [Singing in the Presence of God](https://livinghopetriad.com/singing-in-the-presence-of-god/) - The sermon emphasizes that Christianity is marked by a small number of core practices, one of which is the call for all believers to sing as a regular and meaningful expression of faith.

- [Pray Then Like This](https://livinghopetriad.com/pray-then-like-this/) - This sermon teaches that prayer is not a way to earn God’s love or salvation, but a vital means of staying connected to God through Christ, who already fully secures our salvation. Using the Lord’s Prayer as a model, it explains how prayer rightly begins with God’s glory, kingdom, and will, then moves to
- [Week 1: The Words of Worship](https://livinghopetriad.com/week-1-the-words-of-worship/) - This sermon teaches that worship is not primarily about personal feelings or entertainment, but a deliberate, embodied response to who God is—marked by reverent fear, humble submission, and active service. Gathered worship on Sundays is not in competition with everyday “lifestyle worship,” but a concentrated, holy practice that forms and fuels faithful living throughout
- [Blessed are the Peacemakers](https://livinghopetriad.com/blessed-are-the-peacemakers/) - The sermon teaches that we are constantly being shaped by the world’s values, so Christians must intentionally return to Jesus—especially the Sermon on the Mount—to let him define how we think and live. Focusing on “blessed are the peacemakers,” it explains that being a true follower of Jesus means reflecting God’s grace by loving
- [The Jesus Way: Radical Selflessness](https://livinghopetriad.com/the-jesus-way-radical-selflessness/) - This sermon challenges believers to move beyond reducing their faith to spiritual habits and instead embrace a life that truly looks like Jesus—marked by radical selflessness, humility, and holy inconvenience, as described in Philippians 2. It confronts a cultural, especially Southern, version of Christianity that equates church attendance and moral behavior with genuine discipleship,
- [Live A Quiet Life](https://livinghopetriad.com/live-a-quiet-life/) -  This sermon from 1 Thessalonians 4 challenges the cultural obsession with visibility, noise, and measurable success by calling Christians to a different ambition: to live quietly, mind their own business, and work faithfully. True spiritual impact is not tied to audience size or public recognition but is found in hidden faithfulness, loving others, resisting
- [It's All in Jesus](https://livinghopetriad.com/its-all-in-jesus/) - This sermon centers on the truth that everything God provides—life, transformation, forgiveness, strength, and purpose—is found fully and continually in Jesus Christ, and that apart from abiding in Him, Christian life simply does not work. Using the image of Christmas lights and the biblical call to “abide in the vine,” the speaker emphasizes that
- [The King of Love](https://livinghopetriad.com/the-king-of-love/) - This Christmas Sunday sermon teaches that God’s love is far deeper and more complex than our everyday use of the word, revealing a love that is multifaceted, self-giving, and ultimately demonstrated in Jesus loving His enemies through the cross. Jesus defines true love as loving God fully and loving others—including enemies—with the same sacrificial
- [The King of Peace](https://livinghopetriad.com/the-king-of-peace/) - This sermon teaches that biblical peace (shalom) is not merely a feeling but God’s restoring order to chaos—both objectively through reconciliation with God and subjectively within our hearts. Humanity lost that peace through sin, but Jesus, the prophesied Servant and Prince of Peace, took our chastisement upon himself so that his faithfulness and righteousness
- [The King of Hope](https://livinghopetriad.com/the-king-of-hope/) - The sermon teaches that God is a promise-making God who delights in our faith, and therefore He often allows seasons of waiting between His promises and their fulfillment. This waiting—illustrated through biblical examples like Genesis 3:15 and Noah—is where hope lives: a joyful, trusting anticipation rooted in God’s character and past faithfulness. Ultimately, the
- [The King of Joy](https://livinghopetriad.com/the-king-of-joy/) - This sermon teaches that joy is not a vague, hidden state or merely a mindset, but a real, visible happiness that God commands and actively gives through Jesus. True joy flows from abiding in Christ, who came, died, and rose so that His joy would fill us completely—even through seasons of sorrow, lament, and
- [Every Believer Hears God](https://livinghopetriad.com/every-believer-hears-god/) - This sermon emphasizes that every believer hears from God, and His communication is constant, not dependent on our spiritual state or actions.

The message encourages practical engagement

Through their story, the pastor illustrates that God is sovereign, doing whatever He pleases
- [The Suffering God](https://livinghopetriad.com/the-suffering-god/) - This sermon explores Psalm 88, one of the darkest and most sorrowful psalms, emphasizing that God invites us to bring our honest pain and suffering to Him. The psalmist feels abandoned and overwhelmed, yet continues to cry out to God, showing that faith is often found in perseverance rather than easy answers. The message
- [Paul in Jerusalem](https://livinghopetriad.com/paul-in-jerusalem/) - As Paul journeys toward Jerusalem, he receives repeated prophetic warnings of suffering ahead—yet he refuses to turn back. This story highlights the difference between God’s true word and human interpretation, reminding us that warnings are not always prohibitions. Paul’s resolve shows what it means to live with a clear calling: when you know your
- [The Walls That We Build](https://livinghopetriad.com/the-walls-that-we-build/) - As Paul’s attempt at peace in Jerusalem backfires, a mob falsely accuses him of defiling the temple and tries to kill him. When he defends himself, the crowd listens quietly—until he says that God sent him to the Gentiles. Their fury reveals the deep walls of prejudice and pride that Jesus came to tear
- [Restricted by Love](https://livinghopetriad.com/restricted-by-love/) - In Acts 21, Paul returns to Jerusalem and chooses love over personal freedom, joining a Jewish ritual he no longer deems necessary to preserve unity in the church. His example shows that true Christian maturity means laying down our rights for the sake of others. In a divided world, the church thrives when love—not
- [Serve & Protect the Church](https://livinghopetriad.com/serve-protect-the-church/) - In Acts 20, Paul gives an emotional farewell to the Ephesian elders, pointing to his own life of humility, sacrifice, and perseverance as their example. He urges them to guard the flock, knowing false teachers will rise up to distort the truth. His words remind us that the church was bought with the blood
- [The Sons of Sceva](https://livinghopetriad.com/the-sons-of-sceva/) - In Ephesus, a city obsessed with magic and idols, God’s power through Paul exposed both the emptiness of superstition and the authority of Jesus’ name. The story of the seven sons of Sceva shows that spiritual authority cannot be faked or taken—it must be received from Christ. As new believers publicly burned their costly
- [Repentance is Not Enough](https://livinghopetriad.com/repentance-is-not-enough/) - When Paul encounters a group in Ephesus who knew only John’s baptism of repentance, he points them to the fullness found in Christ. This sermon unpacks the difference between striving to stop sinning and living in the Spirit’s power, where we walk daily with God as His children. Repentance is essential, but it cannot
- [Adoption: The Highest Privilege the Gospel Offers](https://livinghopetriad.com/adoption-the-highest-privilege-the-gospel-offers/) - The gospel gives us more than forgiveness—it gives us family. John Held unpacks the incredible truth of adoption: through Christ, we are welcomed as sons and daughters of the living God. Adoption means access to God’s presence, security in His love, an eternal inheritance, and even His loving discipline that shapes us into Christ’s
- [Abiding in Christ Daily](https://livinghopetriad.com/abiding-in-christ-daily/) - Abiding in Christ isn’t about checking boxes—it’s about cultivating a daily relationship that flows from awe of who God is. Intimacy with Jesus changes everything: it aligns our hearts with His mission, makes us attentive to His voice, and frees us from the distractions of sin. Like Mephibosheth, who longed simply to be in
- [Walk by the Spirit](https://livinghopetriad.com/walk-by-the-spirit/) - The Christian life isn’t about striving harder—it’s about surrendering daily to the Spirit. In Galatians 5, Paul contrasts the destructive works of the flesh with the beautiful fruit of the Spirit, reminding us that only God can produce real transformation in us. The Scriptures call us to crucify selfishness, rely on God’s promises, and
- [The Great Commission](https://livinghopetriad.com/the-great-commission/) - The Great Commission is essential for every Christian. But how do we overcome the desire for comfort and conformity that keeps us from fulfilling it? Owen Cotten walks us through how the authority and presence of Jesus can move us to make disciples of all nations.
- [Friendship and Ministry](https://livinghopetriad.com/friendship-and-ministry/) - Ministry was never meant to be a solo mission. In Acts 18, Paul’s partnerships with friends like Aquila, Priscilla, Silas, and Timothy show how teamwork strengthens the gospel’s reach, deepens unity, and reflects the character of Jesus. Their example challenges the “hero pastor” mindset and calls us to embrace long-term, committed relationships—both within our
- [Why Are We All Still Here?](https://livinghopetriad.com/why-are-we-all-still-here/) - If heaven is our home, why doesn’t God take us there the moment we believe? The Scriptures answer with a clear truth—we’re still here because Jesus has chosen to use every believer in His mission to bring the gospel to the world. Drawing from Scripture, personal testimony, and the call of the Great Commission,
- [Turn the World Upside Down](https://livinghopetriad.com/turn-the-world-upside-down/) - Wherever Paul went—Thessalonica, Berea, Athens—his message of Jesus disrupted the status quo and sparked both revival and resistance. The early church “turned the world upside down” by proclaiming a new King in a world full of idols. Rather than condemning culture from a distance, Paul engaged it with Spirit-filled wisdom, pointing people to Jesus
- [Celebration/New Day Testimonies](https://livinghopetriad.com/celebration-new-day-testimonies/) - One of the ways we fight for joy is by sharing our stories of what God has done for us. Listen to an array of testimonies from the recent Confluence regional conference as well as the New Day youth conference. 
- [The Love of Money](https://livinghopetriad.com/the-love-of-money/) - Money isn’t the problem—loving it is. In this sermon, we’re invited to examine how money shapes our trust, our fears, and our priorities, and how the gospel calls us into joyful, sacrificial generosity instead. Drawing from Scripture and cultural insight, this message challenges the lies of the American gospel and reorients our hearts toward
- [New Models For Evangelism](https://livinghopetriad.com/new-models-for-evangelism/) - In Acts 16, we see the gospel break through in unexpected places—a quiet riverside, a spiritual showdown, and even a prison cell. God reaches hearts not just through miracles or preaching, but through hospitality, integrity, and suffering. In a culture filled with assumptions and skepticism, we are challenged to embody the gospel up close.
- [Touching on Water Baptism](https://livinghopetriad.com/touching-on-water-baptism/) - Water baptism is far more than a symbolic ritual—it’s a sacred confession of faith, a picture of death and resurrection, and an invitation into ongoing transformation. Baptism declares both our cleansing from sin and our union with Christ’s death and new life. Drawing on Scripture and personal experience, Vic Spencer calls us to see
- [Your Failure, God’s Voice](https://livinghopetriad.com/your-failure-gods-voice/) - Even after a wildly successful mission, Paul’s plans unravel—he splits with Barnabas, hits dead ends, and faces spiritual silence. But through failure, God speaks. This Father’s Day message explores how our disappointments and broken plans can be the very places where God redirects and refines us. Your worst moments don’t disqualify you—they might just
- [The Jerusalem Council](https://livinghopetriad.com/the-jerusalem-council/) - When early Christians faced a major theological crisis—do Gentile believers need to follow the law of Moses?—the apostles gathered in Jerusalem to seek clarity. The church, led by the Holy Spirit, resolved conflict through truth, grace, and unity. Acts 15 explores how the gospel was preserved from legalism, and how today’s church can still
- [Persecuted to Worshipped](https://livinghopetriad.com/persecuted-to-worshipped/) - Spiritual success can be just as dangerous as opposition—especially when leaders are tempted to accept the praise meant for God. In Acts 14, Paul and Barnabas go from being persecuted to nearly being worshiped as gods. We’re challenged to examine how easily admiration can slide into idolatry by unpacking the subtle but dangerous threat
- [Word, Spirit, & Persecution](https://livinghopetriad.com/word-spirit-persecution/) - True ministry is grounded in the Word of God and fueled by the Spirit of God—without compromise. In Acts 13, we follow Paul and Barnabas as they boldly preach the gospel, navigating both spiritual power and fierce opposition. Their example challenges us to embrace a faith that expects miracles, invites rejection, and finds joy
- [Serve as Jesus Serves](https://livinghopetriad.com/serve-as-jesus-serves/) - What does it really mean to serve like Jesus? In this Job Fair Sunday sermon, we explore the moment when the King of Kings knelt to wash His disciples’ feet—and what that radical act means for how we live and serve today. Jesuse challenges us to move beyond self-focused spirituality and embrace a life
- [The Better Portion](https://livinghopetriad.com/the-better-portion/) - In this Mother’s Day message, we dive into the story of Mary and Martha to explore the overwhelming pressures women often carry—and to offer freedom at the feet of Jesus. Jesus’ teaching reveals how our true identity is found not in constant service, but in discipleship and closeness to Christ. Whether you’re a mom,
- [Blessed are the Unoffended](https://livinghopetriad.com/blessed-are-the-unoffended/) - Everyone struggles at some point with trusting God. Doubt is a common part of our human nature. Everyone will experience doubt, but it’s what we do with it that makes the difference. Lindsay and Chris Hubbard explain how to overcome doubt and remain ‘unoffended’ when God does not answer our prayers in the way
- [Winsome Discernment](https://livinghopetriad.com/winsome-discernment/) - Acts 13:4-12 In Acts 13, we encountering Paul and Barnabas take on a false prophet who called himself a “son of Jesus.” In this story, we see what it looks like for disciples of Jesus to discern when to be gentle and when to rebuke. Jesus was only harsh with hypocritical religious leaders
- [Life Over Death – Easter 2025](https://livinghopetriad.com/life-over-death-easter-2025/) - God’s order over chaos was broken into disorder when Adam and Even individually began to determine what was right in their own eyes, instead of in the eyes of their Creator. But during the reign of King David, we begin to hear whispers of a future king who would bring in a new kingdom
- [Palm Sunday – The Unexpected Jesus](https://livinghopetriad.com/palm-sunday-the-unexpected-jesus/) - Zechariah prophesied that the Messiah would come in a specific way. The problem was that they had ignored all the things God had told them about Himself and His mission. On Palm Sunday, Jesus rides into Jerusalem on a male donkey that was young enough that it had never been ridden before. This is
- [Earnest Prayer](https://livinghopetriad.com/earnest-prayer/) - When Peter was chained in a prison cell, the church didn’t panic—they prayed.

- [The Spirit & Mission](https://livinghopetriad.com/the-spirit-mission/) - Acts 10:1-33 In Part II of our exploration of Peter’s visit to Cornelius in Acts 10, we focus on the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Throughout church history, we have been divided over the Spirit. On one end is the error of sacramentalizing the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. On the other end
- [Common & Uncommon](https://livinghopetriad.com/common-uncommon/) - Acts 10:1-33 Everyone who believes is charged with the responsibility to take the gospel across cultural boundaries. In Acts 10, we see God take Peter past his cultural and even theological boundaries in order to preach the gospel to a community of people Peter had considered unclean. God knows your weaknesses, and He
- [Healing In Suffering](https://livinghopetriad.com/healing-in-suffering/) - Acts 9:32-43 reminds us that God’s healing power is still at work even after Christ’s ascension and the coming of the Holy Spirit.

- [The Conversion of Saul](https://livinghopetriad.com/the-conversion-of-saul/) - The conversion of Saul isn’t just a story meant to entertain us. It’s an encounter meant to change us.

- [Spirit Led, Christ-Centered Evangelism](https://livinghopetriad.com/spirit-led-christ-centered-evangelism/) - We are a sent people, not a stationary people. The church does not have a mission, the mission has a church. God is sending you to someone—who is it? You don’t need a plan, you don’t need a method, you don’t need to be brilliant—God is the one doing all the work. You only

- [Beyond What We Could Bear](https://livinghopetriad.com/beyond-what-we-could-bear/) - There is something about the change from one year to the next that invites us to reflect on what’s just happened over the past year (and beyond). In the context of our worship together, we usually want to focus on the perspective of hope, joy, and encouragement. However, it’s also important to have the
- [God Is Love](https://livinghopetriad.com/god-is-love/) - God’s love is the kind of love that dies for people that reject Him. Utterly, reject Him, declaring that they love the things He created more than Him. Jesus coming to the manger was motivated by God’s covenant love, promised to unfaithful people. Jesus’ death was motivated by His own love, not by our
- [God Is Sovereign](https://livinghopetriad.com/god-is-sovereign/) - Jesus is brought to you by the sovereign will of God. Without the sovereignty of God, there is no baby in a manger.

- [God Is Holy](https://livinghopetriad.com/god-is-holy/) - Holiness is an attribute of God, but it also characterizes all of His other attributes. God is all of His qualities at once (unlike us). He is perfect, and complicated, in a way that we cannot relate to without His assistance. The aim of this 3 week advent series is not to put God
- [Do Not Fear (Acts - Week 12)](https://livinghopetriad.com/do-not-fear-acts-week-11/) - Acts 8:1-8 Our society’s primary motive right now is fear. We just had an election, and the default message from both sides was not “I’m the best person for the job” it was “vote for me, because if my opponent gets in the world will end.” The “us” vs “them” language is embedded
- [The Martyrdom of Stephen (Acts - Week 11)](https://livinghopetriad.com/the-martyrdom-of-stephen-acts-week-11/) - Acts 7 Stephen had a revelation that had become the theological foundation of the New Testament Church. This could only come by the Spirit, and it would become absolutely essential to the future of the gospel. But it was this same revelation that got Stephen killed. Stephen bore witness to Jesus before the
- [Deacon is a Verb (Acts - Week 10)](https://livinghopetriad.com/deacon-is-a-verb-acts-week-10/) - Acts 6:1-7 If you look at your life, how you spend your time, talent, and treasure – is it characterized by serving? The advancement of the Kingdom of God requires no money and no talent. It only requires the Holy Spirit and willing servants. Jesus is redefining what it means to be a
- [You Will Receive Power](https://livinghopetriad.com/you-will-receive-power/) - In order to join God in His mission, we don’t just need His heart. We need His power. There’s no way to fulfill what God has called us to if we aren’t filled with His Spirit. If we aren’t filled with the Spirit, we don’t have the power we need to be His witnesses.
- [The Message of Life (Acts - Week 9)](https://livinghopetriad.com/the-message-of-life-acts-week-9/) - Acts 5:17-42 Christianity is a message, with content that is expressed in words. It is not a lifestyle, but the message transforms your lifestyle. It is not an identity, but the message transforms your identity. It is not a moral choice, but the message transforms your moral choices. This message must be proclaimed,
- [Ananias and Sapphira (Acts - Week 8)](https://livinghopetriad.com/ananias-and-sapphira-acts-week-8/) - Acts 5:1-11 This text is perhaps the most challenging in the book of Acts. We know that the Holy Spirit is the same today as He was in this story. So how to we understand it? The question we need to answer is one of hypocrisy: How much of our outward religion is
- [Prayer for Boldness (Acts - Week 7)](https://livinghopetriad.com/prayer-for-boldness-acts-week-7/) - Acts 4 Prayer is an act of humility and dependence. Do we foolishly think that the biggest threat is what’s outside, instead of the cowardice that lurks inside us? The apostles were more concerned with being faithful to Jesus than they were with establishing a more comfortable life in Jerusalem. This drove them
- [Discovering Who You Are in Christ](https://livinghopetriad.com/discovering-who-you-are-in-christ/) - When we know who we are in Christ, it empowers us to put off our old selves and become the new creations that God has redeemed us to be.

- [The Fellowship of Believers (Acts - Week 5)](https://livinghopetriad.com/the-fellowship-of-believers-acts-week-5/) - Acts 2:42-47 Jesus is not only alive IN His Church, but He is alive THROUGH His Church. As a culture, we idolize individuality, self-expression, and putting our own pursuit of happiness over concern for others. The Spirit is calling us together. We cannot do the mission of Jesus alone.

To do so, we need to take time to understand what “the name of Jesus” is all about. Acts 3 begins with a story that reveals to us how the name of Jesus is both

The disciples were transformed, in an instant, from disciples to apostles. And in that moment, the Church was born. We need to set our bar of expectation at spiritual transformation, not just incremental improvement. You are living

They may claim to be Christ centered, but reject the work of the Spirit as unreliable emotionalism. Or they embrace the work of the Spirit manifesting in miracles, joy, and spiritual experiences but refuse the sanctifying work of Jesus in

None of us enjoy it, but it’s the only way to get that “peaceful fruit of righteousness” mentioned in Hebrews 12. It’s a reminder that we are His true and beloved sons and daughters. In

- [Why Baptism?](https://livinghopetriad.com/why-baptism/) - Baptism has been contested for centuries, but mainly because it is connected to our understand of the gospel and what exactly “saves” us. There are also questions about the mode of baptism, but those are very much secondary and not something I’m going to delve into very much. Our concern this morning is that
- [The Sanctified Parent](https://livinghopetriad.com/the-sanctified-parent/) - When you first become a parent, you think you’re going to be John Wayne. You might be unconventional at times, but your parenting ideas are going to get the job done. Then a baby is handed to you, and you are pretty sure you’re drowning. But God isn’t interested in your competency nearly as

Much of the reason people struggle with the book of Romans is not seeing the overall flow and theme of the letter. It’s very easy to get lost in the weeds with this letter. I want to skip across the high points
- [Truth for a Lie - Romans, Week 2](https://livinghopetriad.com/truth-for-a-lie-romans-week-2/) - Romans 1 and 2 have been very important in the history of the Church. Every generation since Romans was written has looked to these verses to help them understand the world, and what has gone wrong with it. This is an essential building block of your worldview.

There we see the Holy Spirit through the apostle Paul, laying out the basis for the Christian worldview.

God says that no one is righteous. You may be morally superior, but you are not righteous. That can only come from God Himself. And only righteous people can have a right relationship with God and enter
- [But Wait, There's More! - Romans, Week 7](https://livinghopetriad.com/but-wait-theres-more-romans-week-7/) - Romans 5:1-21 We have been considering the idea that our righteousness is in Christ, counted to us by faith. My righteousness is fundamentally a decree of God. It is not mine, it is not in me. It is in Christ, held by Him for me. But this begs an obvious question about our experience.
- [Slaves of Righteousness - Romans, Week 8](https://livinghopetriad.com/slaves-of-righteousness-romans-week-8/) - Romans 6:1-23 Paul has been emphasizing grace so heavily, that it creates a concern for many people. This is a radical kind of grace that was simply too far for some at the time, and to this day. But if we are saved by grace, through faith, not of any good works of our own,
- [Law and Life - Romans, Week 9](https://livinghopetriad.com/law-and-life-romans-week-9/) - Romans 7:1-8:11 So far, we have learned that the OT law could not make us righteous. All it could do was reveal sin, and in a sense, increase sin. Through the cross and the resurrection, we are no under the law but under grace. Now Paul will turn to discussing the role of the law
- [Awesome New Way of Living - Romans, Week 10](https://livinghopetriad.com/awesome-new-way-of-living-romans-week-10/) - Romans 8:12-17 We do not owe the “old me apart from Christ” anything. Like the freed slave in Rom 6 and the wife whose husband died in Rom 7, we owe zero allegiance to the old master/husband. Our approach to God has been totally revolutionized. In who we were before Christ, we were enslaved and

We not only inherit the promises of God,

Jesus also has the same “flesh and blood” as us. He

## Messages

- [Message: "Wk 8: Jars of Clay" from Owen Cotten](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/wk-8-jars-of-clay/) - A message from the series "2 CORINTHIANS: “STRENGTH IN WEAKNESS”." The sermon from 2 Corinthians 4 focuses on faithfully sharing the gospel without manipulation or concern for how people respond, trusting that God is responsible for the results. Paul’s image of “jars of clay” reminds believers that God intentionally works through weak and imperfect people so that His power, rather than human ability, is clearly seen, even amid suffering, confusion, persecution, and hardship. Ultimately, Christians are encouraged not to lose heart because present suffering is temporary and God uses it to produce eternal glory, while believers can support one another by sharing both their struggles and the life of Christ within them.
- [Message: "Wk 7: The Glory of the New Covenant" from Dylan Davis](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/wk-7-the-glory-of-the-new-covenant/) - A message from the series "2 CORINTHIANS: “STRENGTH IN WEAKNESS”." This sermon explains Paul's contrast in 2 Corinthians 3 between the old covenant, which revealed God's holiness and humanity's condemnation under the law, and the new covenant in Christ, whose surpassing glory brings forgiveness, freedom, and complete reconciliation with God. The preacher emphasizes that truly grasping the weight of our sin and the finished work of Christ on the cross produces boldness, gratitude, and confidence, reminding believers that God's wrath was fully satisfied in Jesus and that no further condemnation remains for those in Him. Finally, the sermon challenges Christians to fix their attention on the glory of Christ rather than constantly seeking new experiences or signs, arguing that beholding the gospel is what the Holy Spirit uses to transform believers "from glory to glory" into the likeness of Christ.
- [Message: "Wk 6: You Are My Credibility" from Ben Cotten](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/wk-6-you-are-my-credibility/) - A message from the series "2 CORINTHIANS: “STRENGTH IN WEAKNESS”." This sermon teaches that the true measure of Christian ministry is not popularity, charisma, credentials, or visible success, but whether the Holy Spirit is transforming people's lives through faithful, relational service centered on Christ. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 3:1–6, the pastor explains that every believer is a minister whose effectiveness is demonstrated by changed lives rather than personal accomplishments, emphasizing that both the ability to serve and the results of ministry come from God, not human skill. He concludes by challenging listeners to evaluate every area of life—work, parenting, marriage, leadership, and church—not by worldly achievements but by whether they are helping others grow into spiritual maturity and become more like Jesus.
- [Message: "Wk 5: The Aroma of Christ" from Ben Cotten](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/wk-5-the-aroma-of-christ/) - A message from the series "2 CORINTHIANS: “STRENGTH IN WEAKNESS”." This sermon teaches that Christian ministry is ultimately directed toward pleasing God rather than producing visible results, using Paul's image of believers as the "aroma of Christ" whose worship rises to God while others simply witness its effects. The pastor emphasizes that believers are not responsible for saving people or measuring success by conversions, but for faithfully serving "in Christ," trusting that Jesus—not their own ability—is the true source of effective ministry. The message concludes by encouraging Christians to abandon the mindset that life and ministry are tests they must pass, and instead embrace the freedom and joy of participating in the work that Christ is already accomplishing through them.
- [Message: "Wk 4: Forgive the Sinner" from Ben Cotten](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/wk-4-forgive-the-sinner/) - A message from the series "2 CORINTHIANS: “STRENGTH IN WEAKNESS”." This sermon teaches that church discipline is not about punishing struggling believers, but lovingly confronting unrepentant, ongoing sin that someone has chosen to embrace, because unchecked sin harms both the individual and the entire church. Using 1 and 2 Corinthians, the pastor explains that the goal of discipline is always restoration—when a person repents, the church should quickly forgive, comfort, and fully welcome them back into fellowship. He concludes by urging Christians to build humble, honest relationships where they lovingly hold one another accountable before sin takes deeper root, remembering that the aim is repentance toward God rather than personal offense or condemnation.
- [Message: "Wk 3: Paul Changes His Mind" from Allen Alston](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/wk-3-paul-changes-his-mind/) - A message from the series "2 CORINTHIANS: “STRENGTH IN WEAKNESS”." This sermon explains that while the Corinthians questioned Paul because he changed his travel plans, Paul reveals that his decisions were motivated by love, obedience to God, and a desire to spare them unnecessary pain rather than by selfishness or indecision. The heart of the message focuses on 2 Corinthians 1:18–22, emphasizing that every promise God has made finds its "Yes" in Christ, and that believers have been established, anointed, sealed, and given the Holy Spirit as a guarantee of their future inheritance. The sermon concludes by encouraging Christians to live in light of these incredible spiritual realities—holding tightly to God's promises, continually seeking Him in prayer, repenting when they fail, and confidently drawing near to God because of what Christ has accomplished.
- [Message: "Wk 2: The God of All Comfort" from Israel Rios](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/wk-2-the-god-of-all-comfort/) - A message from the series "2 CORINTHIANS: “STRENGTH IN WEAKNESS”." This sermon on 2 Corinthians 1:3–11 emphasizes that God does not promise a life free from suffering, but He does promise His presence, comfort, and strength in the midst of it. Using Paul's hardships as an example, the speaker teaches that God often allows difficulties that are beyond our ability to handle so that we learn to depend on Him, and that our own suffering can become a source of comfort and encouragement to others. The sermon concludes by encouraging believers to surrender their burdens to God, rely on prayer and the support of the church community, and trust that weakness is often the starting point for deeper faith and greater obedience to Christ.
- [Message: "Wk 1: The Church of God" from Ben Cotten](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/wk-1-the-church-of-god/) - A message from the series "2 CORINTHIANS: “STRENGTH IN WEAKNESS”." This sermon introduces 2 Corinthians by explaining the long, difficult relationship between Paul and the church in Corinth—a congregation marked by division, immorality, pride, celebrity culture, and resistance to Paul's authority. The pastor emphasizes that despite the church's many failures, Paul addresses them as "the church of God" and "saints," showing that God defines His people by their identity in Christ rather than by their current weaknesses and sins. The central application is that both personal sanctification and church renewal begin by believing what God says about us, allowing Him to transform us from the inside out into the holy people He has already declared us to be.
- [Message: "Wk 12: The Epilogue" from Ben Cotten](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/wk-12-the-epilogue/) - A message from the series "Job." This sermon concludes the book of Job by emphasizing that God's response to Job leads to vindication, redemption, and restoration—not because Job earned it, but because of God's mercy and grace. The preacher argues that Job's restoration does not validate the Retribution Principle ("good people are blessed, bad people are punished"), but instead reveals God's freedom to act mercifully and points forward to the ultimate redemption found in Jesus Christ. By portraying Job as a foreshadowing of Christ—an innocent sufferer whose intercession brings redemption to others—the sermon highlights that the book of Job is ultimately about knowing God through Jesus and trusting in His goodness rather than our own righteousness.
- [Message: "Wk 11: Yahweh Speaks" from Ben Cotten](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/wk-11-yahweh-speaks/) - A message from the series "Job." This sermon focuses on God's response to Job after all of Job's suffering, showing that God's ultimate answer is not an explanation for pain but a revelation of Himself. The preacher emphasizes that Job's faith is demonstrated by bringing his questions directly to God, and that when Job encounters God's greatness, his need for answers is replaced by trust and awe. The central message is that true comfort comes not from having every hardship explained, but from knowing and experiencing God so deeply that our doubts, complaints, and laments lose their power in His presence.
- [Message: "Wk 10: Elihu Speaks" from Vic Spencer](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/wk-10-elihu-speaks/) - A message from the series "Job." This sermon focuses on the character of Elihu in the book of Job, presenting him as a passionate but prideful young man who rebukes Job for his self-righteousness and prepares the way for God’s response. The speaker explains that while Elihu correctly defends God’s justice and sovereignty, he also demonstrates the dangers of arrogance, harsh judgment, and speaking without compassion toward those who are suffering. Ultimately, the sermon emphasizes that suffering can be used by God for sanctification and refinement, pointing believers toward humility, dependence on God, and the hope of redemption through Jesus Christ
- [Message: "Wk 9: The Words of Job are Ended" from Ben Cotten](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/wk-9-the-words-of-job-are-ended/) - A message from the series "Job." This sermon on the final speeches in the Book of Job emphasizes that Job’s intense complaints and grief are not condemned by God, but are presented as a genuine form of worship and lament. The pastor contrasts healthy lament with self-pity, arguing that while God welcomes honest cries of pain, lament must eventually come to an end in trust, even before answers or relief arrive. Centering on the phrase “the words of Job are ended,” the sermon teaches that Job’s silence becomes an act of faith—choosing to wait for God’s response rather than remaining trapped in endless despair.
- [Message: "Week 8: Where is Wisdom?" from Ben Cotten](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/week-8-where-is-wisdom/) - A message from the series "Job." This sermon on Job 28 contrasts humanity’s incredible technological and intellectual achievements with its complete inability to discover true wisdom apart from God. The preacher argues that wisdom is not merely information, answers, or life principles, but the very presence of God Himself — “the fear of the Lord is wisdom” — and that suffering often strips away the “landmarks” we rely on so we learn to cling to Christ alone. Applying this to everyday life and parenting, the sermon warns against searching for meaning, guidance, and security in technology, self-help, or human ingenuity, urging believers instead to cultivate a genuine relationship with Jesus, because what ultimately shapes a person and a family is not knowledge about God, but dependence on Him.
- [Message: "Week 7: A Low View of Humanity" from Ben Cotten](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/week-7-a-low-view-of-humanity/) - A message from the series "Job." The sermon teaches that Job’s friends are wrong not because they overstate God’s greatness, but because they wrongly reduce human beings to “worms” with no real value or standing before God. In contrast, Scripture shows that humans are made in the image of God with inherent dignity, purpose, and a real relationship with Him, even though sin has damaged but not erased that value. True faith, as seen in Job, holds both realities together—God is sovereign and good, and He still sees, hears, and is present with those who suffer, with the ultimate “reward” of suffering being God Himself.
- [Message: "Week 6: Why Do the Wicked Prosper?" from Ben Cotten](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/week-6-why-do-the-wicked-prosper/) - A message from the series "Job." This sermon explains how in Job 21 and 24, Job challenges the simplistic belief that God always rewards the righteous and punishes the wicked in this life, pointing out that evil people often seem to prosper while injustice goes unchecked. It affirms that this observation is real and valid, but incomplete—because, as seen in Psalm 73, true understanding comes from God’s perspective, where ultimate justice is delayed but certain. The message concludes that believers endure this tension by shifting their attention toward God in worship, trusting that in the long run—through Christ—perfect justice and mercy will be fully revealed.
- [Message: " Week 5: My Redeemer Lives" from Ben Cotten](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/week-5-my-redeemer-lives/) - A message from the series "Job." This sermon on the middle section of the Book of Job (chapters 15–20) contrasts Job’s friends’ rigid belief that suffering is always punishment for sin with Job’s insistence on his innocence, revealing how their simplistic theology leads them to wrongly accuse and wound him instead of offering compassion. Despite Job’s intense and even wrong accusations toward God, he continues to direct his pain honestly to God, demonstrating that authentic faith can coexist with confusion, protest, and theological error. The central message is that God values genuine trust over perfect understanding, and even small, quiet faith—like Job’s belief that his “Redeemer lives”—is enough to please Him.
- [Message: "Week 4: Shut Up & Shiva" from Ben Cotten](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/week-4-shut-up-shiva/) - A message from the series "Job." This sermon explores the first cycle of speeches in the book of Job, contrasting the compassionate silence of Job’s friends at first with their later failure as they wrongly accuse him and offer misguided, simplistic theology about suffering. It emphasizes that while the friends speak partial truths, they misapply them, whereas Job’s honest lament—even when raw and confrontational—is affirmed by God as faithful. The central message is that true comfort in suffering is not found in explanations or advice, but in the presence of God, who invites honest wrestling and remains with us even when we don’t understand.
- [Message: "Easter 2026: Christ’s Vindication" from Ben Cotten](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/easter-2026-christ-s-vindication/) - A message from the series "Easter." This Easter sermon teaches that through the cross, Jesus took on and destroyed humanity’s sin in His flesh, and through the resurrection, He was vindicated—proving that sin and death no longer have power over Him or those united to Him. Because of this, believers are not only forgiven but declared righteous and alive to God, sharing in Christ’s victory even now. While Christians still live in the tension of the “already” and the “not yet,” the resurrection assures them that both their salvation and their present suffering will ultimately be vindicated.
- [Message: "Week 3: Faith and Lament" from Ben Cotten](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/week-3-faith-and-lament/) - A message from the series "Job." The sermon connects the book of Job with Psalm 22 to show that lament—honest, even painful complaints to God—is a normal and faithful response to suffering, not a sign of weak faith. By pointing to Jesus quoting “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” on the cross, it argues that expressing feelings of abandonment is itself an act of trust, since it is directed toward God as Father. Ultimately, the message is that true faith is not confident certainty but continuing to turn toward God in pain, trusting Him even when He seems silent.
- [Message: "Blessed Be the Name" from Ben Cotten](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/blessed-be-the-name/) - A message from the series "Job." This sermon explains that Job is a righteous man whose suffering is not a result of wrongdoing, but part of a larger, complex purpose under God’s authority, even as the accuser challenges the sincerity of his faith. Despite losing everything and enduring intense suffering, Job responds with worship, acknowledging that both blessing and hardship ultimately come from God and refusing to curse Him. The message encourages believers to bring honest complaints and lament to God as an act of faith, trusting His presence and goodness even without clear answers.
- [Message: "Introduction to Job" from Ben Cotten](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/introduction-to-job/) - A message from the series "Job." The introduction to Job presents it as a unique, carefully crafted work—rooted in real events but written as a poetic, framed narrative—that is often misunderstood and requires thoughtful interpretation. It emphasizes that Job’s suffering is not a result of wrongdoing and that the book is less about explaining why suffering happens and more about revealing God’s freedom and challenging the idea that life with God is transactional. Ultimately, the story exposes how easily people align with the voice of accusation, inviting readers to wrestle with their assumptions about God, suffering, and their own hearts.
- [Message: "Stepping Out" from  Joel Frias](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/stepping-out/) - A message from the series "Standalone Sermons." The sermon teaches that God allows difficult or unusual situations in people’s lives so they can move from merely knowing about Him to truly knowing Him through personal experience. Using examples like Peter walking on water, Abraham interceding for Lot, Jacob wrestling with God, Job’s suffering, and Jonah’s mission, it argues that these moments are invitations to trust God’s character and seek His blessing above anything else. Ultimately, the message emphasizes that God’s love, mercy, and faithfulness are revealed through life’s trials, leading believers to deeper trust, repentance, and worship.
- [Message: "The Heart of Worship" from Ben Cotten](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/the-heart-of-worship/) - A message from the series "Worship." The sermon concludes the worship series by showing that worship is far bigger than music and centers on why humanity exists: to reflect God’s glory as image-bearers. It traces how human rebellion corrupted worship, but explains that true, acceptable worship is restored through Jesus, whose perfect life, sacrifice, resurrection, and ascension allow humanity to draw near to a holy God. The heart of worship, then, is that Jesus himself is the true worshiper, gathering imperfect human worship into his own pure offering through the Holy Spirit.
- [Message: "The Elements of Worship" from Ben Cotten](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/the-elements-of-worship/) - A message from the series "Worship." The sermon teaches that biblical worship is defined by awe-filled reverence, humble submission, and active service to God, expressed through concrete actions rather than personal feelings or emotional experiences. It explains that the gathered church follows a consistent, Scripture-shaped pattern of worship—from the Old Testament through the New Testament—that centers on serving and pleasing God, not entertaining or satisfying individual preferences. True worship, therefore, is faithfully “doing the worship things” together in obedience and trust, whether or not they feel emotionally powerful, because God is worthy and present among His people.
- [Message: "Singing in the Presence of God" from Allen Alston](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/singing-in-the-presence-of-god/) - A message from the series "Standalone Sermons." The sermon emphasizes that Christianity is marked by a small number of core practices, one of which is the call for all believers to sing as a regular and meaningful expression of faith. Drawing from Scripture, it explains that singing flows from gratitude, joy, and awareness of God’s constant presence, serving as a powerful spiritual practice rather than a performance. Believers are encouraged to embrace singing in everyday life and within community, even when it feels countercultural, as a way to worship God and build one another up.
- [Message: "Pray Then Like This" from Scott Goldston](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/pray-then-like-this/) - A message from the series "Standalone Sermons." This sermon teaches that prayer is not a way to earn God’s love or salvation, but a vital means of staying connected to God through Christ, who already fully secures our salvation. Using the Lord’s Prayer as a model, it explains how prayer rightly begins with God’s glory, kingdom, and will, then moves to our daily needs, forgiveness, protection from temptation, and trust in God’s provision. Ultimately, prayer is presented as both a discipline and a gift—an invitation to deeper relationship, trust, obedience, and dependence on God in every part of life.
- [Message: "Blessed are the Peacemakers" from Ben Cotten](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/blessed-are-the-peacemakers/) - A message from the series "Standalone Sermons." The sermon teaches that we are constantly being shaped by the world’s values, so Christians must intentionally return to Jesus—especially the Sermon on the Mount—to let him define how we think and live. Focusing on “blessed are the peacemakers,” it explains that being a true follower of Jesus means reflecting God’s grace by loving enemies, refusing to operate by deservingness, and “winning by losing” rather than grasping for power or control. The message challenges listeners to resist scarcity, judgment, and cultural outrage, and instead embody Christlike mercy, reconciliation, and peace in their everyday relationships.
- [Message: "Week 1: The Words of Worship" from Ben Cotten](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/week-1-the-words-of-worship/) - A message from the series "Worship." This sermon teaches that worship is not primarily about personal feelings or entertainment, but a deliberate, embodied response to who God is—marked by reverent fear, humble submission, and active service. Gathered worship on Sundays is not in competition with everyday “lifestyle worship,” but a concentrated, holy practice that forms and fuels faithful living throughout the week. Ultimately, worship is something Christians do together as priests before God—choosing to bow, serve, and honor Him—because the very purpose of redemption is to worship Him.
- [Message: "The Jesus Way: Radical Selflessness" from Dylan Davis](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/the-jesus-way-radical-selflessness/) - A message from the series "Standalone Sermons." This sermon challenges believers to move beyond reducing their faith to spiritual habits and instead embrace a life that truly looks like Jesus—marked by radical selflessness, humility, and holy inconvenience, as described in Philippians 2. It confronts a cultural, especially Southern, version of Christianity that equates church attendance and moral behavior with genuine discipleship, arguing that costless Christianity does no real spiritual work. Using examples from Jesus’s life, the message shows how Christ consistently welcomed interruption, prioritized others, and found direction and strength through deep communion with the Father rather than through comfort or efficiency. Ultimately, the sermon presents selfless living not as a burdensome obligation but as an invitation into God’s design, where surrender, grace, and true rest for the soul are found in following Jesus fully, whatever the cost.
- [Message: "Live A Quiet Life" from Ben Cotten](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/live-a-quiet-life/) - A message from the series "Standalone Sermons." This sermon from 1 Thessalonians 4 challenges the cultural obsession with visibility, noise, and measurable success by calling Christians to a different ambition: to live quietly, mind their own business, and work faithfully. True spiritual impact is not tied to audience size or public recognition but is found in hidden faithfulness, loving others, resisting comparison and gossip, and embracing work as worship. Ultimately, the message reframes ordinary, often boring life as holy and meaningful when lived with quiet obedience, generosity, and trust in God rather than cultural pressure.
- [Message: "It's All in Jesus" from Allen Alston](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/its-all-in-jesus/) - A message from the series "Christmas 2025." This sermon centers on the truth that everything God provides—life, transformation, forgiveness, strength, and purpose—is found fully and continually in Jesus Christ, and that apart from abiding in Him, Christian life simply does not work. Using the image of Christmas lights and the biblical call to “abide in the vine,” the speaker emphasizes that spiritual fruit comes not from self-improvement or effort alone, but from staying connected to Christ through the Holy Spirit. While believers must actively pursue obedience and growth, all true power, maturity, and endurance flow from God’s grace in Christ, who remains the unchanging source of everything we need.
- [Message: "The King of Love" from Ben Cotten](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/the-king-of-love/) - A message from the series "Christmas 2025." This Christmas Sunday sermon teaches that God’s love is far deeper and more complex than our everyday use of the word, revealing a love that is multifaceted, self-giving, and ultimately demonstrated in Jesus loving His enemies through the cross. Jesus defines true love as loving God fully and loving others—including enemies—with the same sacrificial care we give ourselves, a kind of love we cannot produce on our own. The good news of Christmas is that God runs toward us in Christ, calling us to stop striving, receive His love, and allow that love to flow through us to others.
- [Message: "The King of Peace" from Ben Cotten](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/55-the-king-of-peace/) - A message from the series "Christmas 2025." This sermon teaches that biblical peace (shalom) is not merely a feeling but God’s restoring order to chaos—both objectively through reconciliation with God and subjectively within our hearts. Humanity lost that peace through sin, but Jesus, the prophesied Servant and Prince of Peace, took our chastisement upon himself so that his faithfulness and righteousness could be credited to us. True, unshakable peace comes only from being reconciled to God through Christ, and when we remember that our standing with God rests in him—not our performance—peace returns even in the midst of life’s chaos.
- [Message: "The King of Joy" from Ben Cotten](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/the-king-of-joy/) - A message from the series "Christmas 2025." This sermon teaches that joy is not a vague, hidden state or merely a mindset, but a real, visible happiness that God commands and actively gives through Jesus. True joy flows from abiding in Christ, who came, died, and rose so that His joy would fill us completely—even through seasons of sorrow, lament, and disappointment. Believers are called to fight for joy by seeing God clearly, grieving honestly, releasing false sources of happiness, and anchoring their joy fully in the loving, delighting heart of God.
- [Message: "The King of Hope" from Ben Cotten](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/the-king-of-hope/) - A message from the series "Christmas 2025." The sermon teaches that God is a promise-making God who delights in our faith, and therefore He often allows seasons of waiting between His promises and their fulfillment. This waiting—illustrated through biblical examples like Genesis 3:15 and Noah—is where hope lives: a joyful, trusting anticipation rooted in God’s character and past faithfulness. Ultimately, the Advent season invites Christians to embrace this hopeful waiting as we look to Jesus, the fulfillment of God’s greatest promise.
- [Message: "Every Believer Hears God" from Ben Cotten](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/every-believer-hears-god/) - A message from the series "Standalone Sermons." This sermon emphasizes that every believer hears from God, and His communication is constant, not dependent on our spiritual state or actions. It explains that God’s nature—as omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, and fully loving—means He speaks through His Word, our circumstances, our thoughts, and emotions, always expressing His will perfectly. The message encourages practical engagement with God’s voice, starting with immersing oneself in Scripture to recognize His communication in everyday life.
- [Message: "Finishing the Race" from Ben Cotten](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/finishing-the-race/) - A message from the series "Acts: The Story of the Spirit." The sermon reviews the final chapters of Acts, highlighting Paul’s dangerous journey to Rome—including storms, shipwreck, and imprisonment—and his unwavering commitment to preach the gospel in every circumstance. Despite being in chains, Paul ministers to sailors, islanders on Malta, and Jewish leaders in Rome, showing boldness and faith throughout. The message concludes by noting that Acts ends abruptly, prompting reflection on Paul’s likely release and continued ministry, and encouraging listeners to consider their own big-picture takeaways from studying the book.
- [Message: "The Three Laws" from  Michael Cotten](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/the-three-laws/) - A message from the series "Standalone Sermons." The sermon tells the story of a woman named Fay, who was called by God as a child from deep poverty to faith, and how both she and her husband Bill experienced God’s miraculous timing in their lives and deaths. Through their story, the pastor illustrates that God is sovereign, doing whatever He pleases according to His will—not ours—and that His goodness is constant even when we don’t understand our circumstances. Ultimately, the message challenges listeners to trust God completely, avoiding the temptation to judge events as “good” or “bad,” and instead to live from the “tree of life,” resting in His divine purpose and goodness.
- [Message: "On Mission Through Trials" from Ben Cotten](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/on-mission-through-trials/) - A message from the series "Acts: The Story of the Spirit." This sermon follows Paul’s journey in Acts 22–26 as his influence shrinks from preaching to crowds to speaking before just a few hostile leaders while imprisoned.
- [Message: "The Suffering God" from Israel Rios](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/the-suffering-god/) - A message from the series "Standalone Sermons." This sermon explores Psalm 88, one of the darkest and most sorrowful psalms, emphasizing that God invites us to bring our honest pain and suffering to Him. The psalmist feels abandoned and overwhelmed, yet continues to cry out to God, showing that faith is often found in perseverance rather than easy answers. The message reminds us that Jesus fully understands our suffering, having endured separation and pain on the cross, and that God places us in community so we don’t walk through hardship alone. Ultimately, our hope is in God’s promise of eternal life where all pain and sorrow will one day end.
- [Message: "The Walls That We Build" from Ben Cotten](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/the-walls-that-we-build/) - A message from the series "Acts: The Story of the Spirit." As Paul’s attempt at peace in Jerusalem backfires, a mob falsely accuses him of defiling the temple and tries to kill him. When he defends himself, the crowd listens quietly—until he says that God sent him to the Gentiles. Their fury reveals the deep walls of prejudice and pride that Jesus came to tear down. The message is clear: in Christ, all dividing walls—racial, cultural, political, or social—are demolished, and the church must refuse to rebuild what Christ has already destroyed.
- [Message: "Restricted by Love" from Sam Cotten](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/restricted-by-love/) - A message from the series "Acts: The Story of the Spirit." In Acts 21, Paul returns to Jerusalem and chooses love over personal freedom, joining a Jewish ritual he no longer deems necessary to preserve unity in the church. His example shows that true Christian maturity means laying down our rights for the sake of others.
- [Message: "Paul in Jerusalem" from Ben Cotten](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/paul-in-jerusalem/) - A message from the series "Acts: The Story of the Spirit." As Paul journeys toward Jerusalem, he receives repeated prophetic warnings of suffering ahead—yet he refuses to turn back. We are challenged to discern our gifts, embrace our purpose, and press forward in God’s kingdom with courage and faith.
- [Message: "The Sons of Sceva" from Ben Cotten](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/the-sons-of-sceva/) - A message from the series "Acts: The Story of the Spirit." The story of the seven sons of Sceva shows that spiritual authority cannot be faked or taken—it must be received from Christ. As new believers publicly burned their costly books of magic, the gospel’s triumph was undeniable.
- [Message: "Serve & Protect the Church" from Ben Cotten](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/serve-protect-the-church/) - A message from the series "Acts: The Story of the Spirit." In Acts 20, Paul gives an emotional farewell to the Ephesian elders, pointing to his own life of humility, sacrifice, and perseverance as their example. He urges them to guard the flock, knowing false teachers will rise up to distort the truth.
- [Message: "Repentance is Not Enough" from Ben Cotten](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/repentance-is-not-enough/) - A message from the series "Acts: The Story of the Spirit." Repentance is essential, but it cannot save—only Jesus’ baptism of grace and the gift of the Spirit unite us fully to the Father. The call is clear: stop living under the weight of the “big no” and step into the joy of life with God in the cool of the day.
- [Message: "Adoption: The Highest Privilege the Gospel Offers" from John Held](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/adoption-the-highest-privilege-the-gospel-offers/) - A message from the series "Standalone Sermons." The gospel gives us more than forgiveness—it gives us family. John Held unpacks the incredible truth of adoption: through Christ, we are welcomed as sons and daughters of the living God.
- [Message: "Abiding in Christ Daily" from Dylan Davis](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/abiding-in-christ-daily/) - A message from the series "Standalone Sermons." Abiding in Christ isn’t about checking boxes—it’s about cultivating a daily relationship that flows from awe of who God is. Intimacy with Jesus changes everything: it aligns our hearts with His mission, makes us attentive to His voice, and frees us from the distractions of sin.
- [Message: "Walk by the Spirit" from Scott Goldston](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/walk-by-the-spirit/) - A message from the series "Standalone Sermons." The Christian life isn’t about striving harder—it’s about surrendering daily to the Spirit. In Galatians 5, Paul contrasts the destructive works of the flesh with the beautiful fruit of the Spirit, reminding us that only God can produce real transformation in us.
- [Message: "The Great Commission" from Owen Cotten](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/the-great-commission/) - A message from the series "Standalone Sermons." The Great Commission is essential for every Christian. But how do we overcome the desire for comfort and conformity that keeps us from fulfilling it? Owen Cotten walks us through how the authority and presence of Jesus can move us to make disciples of all nations.
- [Message: "Friendship and Ministry" from Ben Cotten](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/friendship-and-ministry/) - A message from the series "Acts: The Story of the Spirit." Ministry was never meant to be a solo mission. In Acts 18, Paul’s partnerships with friends like Aquila, Priscilla, Silas, and Timothy show how teamwork strengthens the gospel’s reach, deepens unity, and reflects the character of Jesus.
- [Message: "Why Are We All Still Here?" from Allen Alston](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/why-are-we-all-still-here/) - A message from the series "Standalone Sermons." If heaven is our home, why doesn’t God take us there the moment we believe? The Scriptures answer with a clear truth—we’re still here because Jesus has chosen to use every believer in His mission to bring the gospel to the world.
- [Message: "Turn the World Upside Down" from Ben Cotten](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/turn-the-world-upside-down/) - A message from the series "Acts: The Story of the Spirit." Wherever Paul went—Thessalonica, Berea, Athens—his message of Jesus disrupted the status quo and sparked both revival and resistance. We’re called to do the same: live humbly, speak boldly, and join the gospel movement that’s been reshaping the world since Pentecost.
- [Message: "Celebration/New Day Testimonies" from Ben Cotten](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/celebration-new-day-testimonies/) - A message from the series "Standalone Sermons."

- [Message: "The Love of Money" from Ben Cotten](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/the-love-of-money/) - A message from the series "Standalone Sermons." Money isn’t the problem—loving it is. In this sermon, we’re invited to examine how money shapes our trust, our fears, and our priorities, and how the gospel calls us into joyful, sacrificial generosity instead.
- [Message: "Touching on Water Baptism" from Vic Spencer](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/touching-on-water-baptism/) - Water baptism is far more than a symbolic ritual—it’s a sacred confession of faith, a picture of death and resurrection, and an invitation into ongoing transformation.
- [Message: "New Models For Evangelism" from Ben Cotten](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/new-models-for-evangelism/) - A message from the series "Acts: The Story of the Spirit."

- [Message: "Your Failure, God’s Voice" from Ben Cotten](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/your-failure-god-s-voice/) - A message from the series "Acts: The Story of the Spirit."

- [Message: "Word, Spirit, & Persecution" from Ben Cotten](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/word-spirit-persecution/) - A message from the series "Acts: The Story of the Spirit."

The Messiah would not be handsome like David. He would be humble as a servant. He would step off His throne, be beaten, and killed as a sacrificial lamb on behalf of the people.

- [Message: "Hearing Over Seeing" from Ben Cotten](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/hearing-over-seeing/) - A message from the series "Acts: The Story of the Spirit." Amidst a backdrop of ethnic and religious differences between Antioch and Jerusalem, we encounter the beginnings of the ministry of Barnabas and Saul (soon to be called Paul).
- [Message: "The Spirit & Mission" from Ben Cotten](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/the-spirit-mission/) - A message from the series "Acts: The Story of the Spirit." In Part II of our exploration of Peter’s visit to Cornelius in Acts 10, we focus on the outpouring of the Holy Spirit.
- [Message: "Common & Uncommon" from Ben Cotten](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/common-uncommon/) - A message from the series "Acts: The Story of the Spirit." In Acts 10, we see God take Peter past his cultural and even theological boundaries in order to preach the gospel to a community of people Peter had considered unclean. God knows your weaknesses, and He has made allowances for them, but you must be willing to have your paradigm challenged by the Word of God.
- [Message: "Healing In Suffering" from Dylan Davis](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/healing-in-suffering/) - A message from the series "Acts: The Story of the Spirit." Acts 9:32-43 reminds us that God’s healing power is still at work even after Christ’s ascension and the coming of the Holy Spirit.
- [Message: "The Son of God (Acts - Week 16)" from Ben Cotten](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/the-son-of-god-acts-week-16/) - A message from the series "Acts: The Story of the Spirit." Paul’s story shows us that believing in Jesus is not simply about loving people and getting along better—it is about clinging to the revelation of Jesus as the Son of God.
- [Message: "Insecurities" from Brice Fogle](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/insecurities/) - Our maturity as Christians is shown by our love. But the maturity of our love is shown through our self-awareness and emotional health. Brice Fogle walks us through what it looks like to work through our insecurities in a Christ-centered way so we can become more confident, secure people.
- [Message: "The Conversion of Saul" from Ben Cotten](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/the-conversion-of-saul/) - A message from the series "Acts: The Story of the Spirit." The conversion of Saul isn’t just a story meant to entertain us. It’s an encounter meant to change us. While unique, Paul’s encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus should stir us to hunger for the same level of encounter.
- [Message: "Deacon is a Verb (Acts - Week 10)" from Ben Cotten](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/deacon-is-a-verb-acts-week-10/) - A message from the series "Acts: The Story of the Spirit." If you look at your life, how you spend your time, talent, and treasure – is it characterized by serving? The advancement of the Kingdom of God requires no money and no talent. It only requires the Holy Spirit and willing servants. Jesus is redefining what it means to be a disciple. The higher your authority, the fewer rights you possess. The peak position of the Christian is servant.
- [Message: "The Roles and Responsibilities of Elders in the Church" from Carl Herrington](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/the-roles-and-responsibilities-of-elders-in-the-church/) - A message from the series "Standalone Sermons." The best sign of a growing church isn’t adding more people—it’s adding more elders. So what are the roles and responsibilities of an elder? Carl Herrington explains.
- [Message: "Spirit Led, Christ-Centered Evangelism" from Ben Cotten](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/spirit-led-christ-centered-evangelism/) - A message from the series "Acts: The Story of the Spirit." We are a sent people, not a stationary people. The church does not have a mission, the mission has a church. God is sending you to someone—who is it?
- [Message: "The Power of God (Acts - Week 13)" from Ben Cotten](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/the-power-of-god-acts-week-13/) - A message from the series "Acts: The Story of the Spirit." Acts 8 tells the story of two men: Simon the Magician and Philip the Evangelist. Simon seeks the fame of his own name, and the increase of his own influence. Philip seeks the fame of the name of Christ, and the increase of His kingdom in Samaria.
- [Message: "The Weight of the Cross" from Israel Rios](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/the-weight-of-the-cross/) - A message from the series "Standalone Sermons 2024." We explore the crucifixion of Christ, both its significance at the time it happened and what it means for us today.
- [Message: "Beyond What We Could Bear" from Ben Cotten](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/beyond-what-we-could-bear/) - A message from the series "Standalone Sermons." Where is God in the moment you are living through right now? Whether the season is hard or easy, God is still there. So what is He doing?
- [Message: "God is Love (Advent 2024 - Week 3)" from Ben Cotten](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/god-is-love-advent-2024-week-3/) - A message from the series "Behold Him." God’s love is the kind of love that dies for people that reject Him. Utterly, reject Him, declaring that they love the things He created more than Him. Jesus coming to the manger was motivated by God’s covenant love, promised to unfaithful people.
- [Message: "God Is Sovereign (Advent 2024 - Week 2)" from Ben Cotten](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/god-is-sovereign-advent-2024-week-2/) - A message from the series "Behold Him." Jesus is brought to you by the sovereign will of God. Without the sovereignty of God, there is no baby in a manger. Christmas means that God has used His sovereign power to enter into human suffering to remove it.
- [Message: "Do Not Fear (Acts Week 12)" from Ben Cotten](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/do-not-fear-acts-week-11/) - A message from the series "Acts: The Story of the Spirit." Our society’s primary motive right now is fear. But Acts tells us a different story about how we should handle fear, specifically the fear of persecution. Jesus tells us—and the early church shows us—that when we face persecution, our hardest day can simultaneously be our greatest day.
- [Message: "God Is Holy (Advent 2024 - Week 1)" from Ben Cotten](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/god-is-holy-advent-2024-week-1/) - A message from the series "Behold Him." Holiness is an attribute of God, but it also characterizes all of His other attributes. The aim of this 3 week advent series is not to put God in tidy categories for you. Actually, the goal is the opposite. It is to lead us into being in awe of God.
- [Message: "The Martyrdom of Stephen (Acts - Week 11)" from Ben Cotten](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/the-martyrdom-of-stephen-acts-week-11/) - A message from the series "Acts: The Story of the Spirit." Stephen had a revelation that had become the theological foundation of the New Testament Church. But it was this same revelation that got Stephen killed. Stephen bore witness to Jesus before the mob, and Jesus stood to bear witness to him before heaven.
- [Message: "You Will Receive Power" from Clark Beck](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/you-will-receive-power/) - A message from the series "Acts: The Story of the Spirit." In order to join God in His mission, we don’t just need His heart. We need His power. Clark Beck shares about what it looks like to be filled with the Spirit—and to be filled over and over again—so that we can take the gospel to the nations.
- [Message: "The Message of Life (Acts Week 9)" from Ben Cotten](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/the-message-of-life-acts-week-9/) - A message from the series "Acts: The Story of the Spirit." Christianity is a message, with content that is expressed in words. We are right to be concerned about our lives matching our message. But it is not enough to live it, if we are not willing to say it.
- [Message: "Ananias and Sapphira (Acts Week 8)" from Ben Cotten](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/ananias-and-sapphira-acts-week-8/) - A message from the series "Acts: The Story of the Spirit."
- [Message: "Prayer for Boldness - Acts Week 7" from Ben Cotten](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/prayer-for-boldness-acts-week-7/) - A message from the series "Acts: The Story of the Spirit." The apostles were more concerned with being faithful to Jesus than they were with establishing a more comfortable life in Jerusalem. This drove them to pray, and it set the agenda of their prayers.
- [Message: "Discovering Who You Are in Christ (Acts Week 6)" from Carl Herrington](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/discovering-who-you-are-in-christ-acts-week-6/) - A message from the series "Standalone Sermons." When we know who we are in Christ, it empowers us to put off our old selves and become the new creations that God has redeemed us to be. But what does it look like to walk this out practically, day by day?
- [Message: "The Fellowship of Believers - Acts Week 5" from Ben Cotten](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/the-fellowship-of-believers-acts-week-5/) - A message from the series "Acts: The Story of the Spirit." Jesus is not only alive IN His Church, but He is alive THROUGH His Church. As a culture, we idolize individuality, self-expression, and putting our own pursuit of happiness over concern for others. The Spirit is calling us together. We cannot do the mission of Jesus alone.
- [Message: "In the Name of Jesus - Acts Week 6" from Ben Cotten](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/in-the-name-of-jesus-acts-week-6/) - A message from the series "Acts: The Story of the Spirit." Don’t settle for what you can do, but stir up hunger for what only God can do. Acts 3 begins with a story that reveals to us how the name of Jesus is both the source of healing as well as the source of the faith for his followers to see miracles of healing.
- [Message: "The Age of Fulfillment - Acts Week 4" from Ben Cotten](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/the-age-of-fulfillment-acts-week-4/) - A message from the series "Acts: The Story of the Spirit." The Holy Spirit’s mission is bigger than you, but it is not less than you. The disciples were transformed, in an instant, from disciples to apostles. And in that moment, the Church was born. We need to set our bar of expectation at spiritual transformation, not just incremental improvement.
- [Message: "Pentecost - Acts Week 3" from Ben Cotten](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/pentecost-acts-week-3/) - A message from the series "Acts: The Story of the Spirit." The first group of Christians are no different from us. They have the same worries and pressures and fears that you do. Their culture is not easier or harder than ours. They were doing the same church things as we do. But they got filled with the Holy Spirit, and the rest of the book of Acts tells the story of the results. We are meant to ask ourselves the same question they will ask: Are we filled with the Holy Spirit?
- [Message: "Wait in Jerusalem - Acts Week 2" from Ben Cotten](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/wait-in-jerusalem-acts-week-2/) - A message from the series "Acts: The Story of the Spirit." The followers of Jesus did not do anything special to cajole the Holy Spirit into coming. At the same time, they had been given an assignment by Jesus to bear witness about him to the entire world. So He tells the disciples to wait.
- [Message: "Acts: The Story of the Spirit – Week 1" from Ben Cotten](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/acts-the-story-of-the-spirit-week-1/) - A message from the series "Acts: The Story of the Spirit." We cannot have Christ, without the Spirit and the Spirit is doing the work of Christ. They are perfectly unified, and you cannot have one without the other.
- [Message: "Living a Surrendered Life" from Dylan Davis](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/living-a-surrendered-life/) - Living surrendered to God’s lordship over our lives is meant to be a blessing, not a burden. But how do we truly experience that?
- [Message: "Discipline is Love" from Ben & Heather Cotten](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/discipline-is-love/) - In Week 3 of our sermon series on parenting, we explore how gody discipline can properly shape our children and ourselves.
- [Message: "The Sanctified Parent" from Ben Cotten](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/the-sanctified-parent/) - God isn’t interested in your competency nearly as much as He is interested in your sanctification. In fact, God is equally as interested in your maturity as He is your children’s.
- [Message: "Disciples" from Carl Herrington](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/disciples/) - A message from the series "Standalone Sermons 2024."
- [Message: "Children are a Gift from God" from Ben Cotten](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/children-are-a-gift-from-god/) - We live in a time when children are seen as a burden on the world and the environment, and an unnecessary inconvenience on parents’ lives. But parenting is God’s end game, whether it’s in our natural families or our spiritual family.
- [Message: "The Good Samaritan" from Israel Rios](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/36-the-good-samaritan/)

- [Message: "A Mystery Revealed – Romans, Week 25" from Ben Cotten](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/a-mystery-revealed-romans-week-25/) - A message from the series "Romans." We are closing our series through Romans this week with the final verses, and then a recap of the entire letter. Paul, very cleverly, bookends the letter with the same concept of the gospel being revealed like a mystery being solved after a long anticipation.

Jesus pronounces judgement (Woe = great disaster/terrible pain) on the cities in which He has been performing so many miracles and declaring the good news of the Kingdom.

Jesus is intentionally teaching in a way that veil’s the truth. He is teaching in a way that avoids “throwing pearls before swine”. He is presenting the Truth in a way that only those who are truly seeking, who truly want to hear, will press in beyond the “veil” and perceive what Jesus is saying. Those who have hardened their hearts towards Jesus will not understand, and will walk away frustrated. Those who are truly seeking, will press through and find faith.

- [Message: "Wk 26 - Lip Service" from Ben Cotten](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/wk-26-lip-service/) - A message from the series "The Gospel of Matthew." The Pharisees are obsessing about, and putting people in bondage over, what they eat and how they eat it (commandments of men). Yet they are NOT concerned about what comes OUT of a person’s mouth (commandments of God). What comes out of a person’s mouth indicates what is in their heart, and what comes out of a person’s mouth can defile their own heart and the heart of others.
- [Message: "Wk 27 - Take up Your Cross" from Ben Cotten](https://livinghopetriad.com/messages/wk-27-take-up-your-cross/) - A message from the series "The Gospel of Matthew." Jesus refused to bypass His suffering to lay hold of His kingship. Instead, He willingly embraced His suffering to win His crown on our behalf.
